Comment 17 for bug 154274

I Couldn't agree more with what Matthew East said on Lucas's blog :

 "The front page doesn’t mention Linux, Gnome, Firefox or GNU either… it’s perfectly normal - Ubuntu is currently being heavily marketed and confusing Ubuntu’s target audience with multiple brand names is a really bad idea.

Even if you don’t agree, I hope you’ll understand that branding questions are more complicated than you make out.

Whenever technical analyses are done of Ubuntu, Debian is always placed at the forefront of Ubuntu’s technical strength. For a recent one see how Shuttleworth talks of Ubuntu here - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/04/open_season_four_shuttleworth/

Personally I think the balance is right. "

Also, it's very sad that when Debian releases we see congratulations everywhere on the ubuntu planet and forums, but when ubuntu is released , all we see on the Debian planet is bashing, jealousy and childish thinking.....very sad to know that such people exist in the Debian community.
